little chaps work from fourteen to sixteen

Little chaps are forced to buy beer by

never drink are expected to put money in
toward paying for it as much as bad boys
who want the drink. They think it is great

Benton and Fremont,

Senator Thomas H. Benton used to reside
in this house that am doing business in, and
it was from the front steps of this building
that he Kicked John c.. Fremont, tho path
finder, who was paying his addresses to the
senator's daughter, Jessie, at the time Ben
ton had IN intense dislike, for the sutton,
but Fremont would not be y bluffed with any
sort of mild treatment like that. He kept
on counting, and finally he ana Miss Jessie
were married. Some years after that Ben
ton presented the maps and plans of his il
lustrious son-in-law to- the United States
senate and cxpounded HIS cause with charac-
teristic cloqucncc. A friend of his, well
knowing the senator's previous antipathy to
Fremont, asked him how it was that he
then esteemed him 50 highly. Thercupon
Benton replied: "Oh, you see, Jessie was a
better Judge of man than l was. John

At recent meeting of bee keepers the

Bees" Professor Cook said that no one va
riety possesses all the good qualities, but
that we must cross the best sorts and thus
eliminate tho undesirable characteristics
and promote the good ones. A. J. Root
stated that his colony Of Cariolans were
strongest in the spring and begun rearing

Many of his patrons will have hybrids

for honey producers to breed for any pure

Sheen In u Ynrd.

Professional sheep growers seldom turn
sheep into yard with other stock. They
have learned by experience that 1t does
not pay. In the case OF high priced
bloodcd stock it has sometimes been
pretty dear experience.
The farmer who keeps but few sheep
end has never made Il special study OF the
business cannot do better than to follow
the example Of those who have; yet we
notice that it is the almost invariablc Gus
tom with such farmers to allow their
sheep to take their chances among the
mixed stock of the common yard
In most cases they are obliged to get
their living from the straw stack, or ricks
of hay around which vicious horned cattle
hold sway. Many of the more timid Of
Inc flock will 60 hungry before they will
i,opardizc themselves by crowding them
selves in to get small share of the COM
mon ratiOns.
Unless sheep is killed outright, the
owner is seldom aware of an injury when
it occurs. 1t is matter of great wonder
TO him, however, that he has no more
lambs from so many ewes. Looking ut
the matter Understandings it is n greater
wonder that he has any, or that half his
ewes remain alive.
1t costs but little to have an extra yard
for tho sheep opening off their own pen
or house. A few feet of lumber and few
hours time can be well expended here.
The man who makes proper provision for
his sheep in this way is not the man who
says: ''There amt no profit in sheep, any
way. just keep few to eat up the odds
and cnds," as farmer remarked to the
writer only a few days ago.-Indiana

A Good Word For the Goat.

The healthfulness of goats milk is a
well known fact, and in many parts of
Europe these animals are kept with de-
cided profit. Professor Long, of England,
advises people who cannot afford the lux
of q cow to keep goat, because it can be
kept cheaper than any other animal and
will yield profitable return in milk. He
thinks the expense of maintaining one
would not exceed S. year, while it
will cat almost any kind of food and yield
from one and one-half to two quarts
of milk day, worth at least eight cents
